Flow plans and what's included

Trying to decide between Basic, Student, Pro, Team, and Enterprise? This guide compares what each plan includes, who it's built for, and how to switch — so you can pick the right fit in under a minute.

What it is

Flow offers five plan options — Basic (Free), Student (Free, annual), Pro, Team (Pro with multi-seat billing), and Enterprise — that determine how much you can dictate, which features you can access, and whether you can manage a team. Every plan uses the same voice-to-text engine, so transcription accuracy is identical across tiers.

Plans at a glance

• Basic (Free): Core voice-to-text dictation with a weekly word limit. Best for trying Flow and light usage.

• Student (Free): A dedicated free plan for eligible students with unlimited dictation and no word-limit restrictions. $0/year, no credit card required. Claim on desktop or web — the iOS app guides you through the process. Annual-only; there is no monthly option.

• Pro: Unlimited words across all platforms, prioritized support, Command Mode for editing, early access to new features, and support for 100+ languages. Built for people who dictate frequently.

• Team (Pro with multi-seat billing): Everything in Pro, plus team management, centralized billing, admin controls, and a limited view of the Team Leaderboard. Built for organizations with multiple users.

• Enterprise: Everything in Pro, plus dedicated support, advanced admin and security controls, usage dashboards, full Team Leaderboard access, and IT Admin seats.

Global and regional pricing

Flow is available worldwide with no country-based billing restrictions. Pricing is localized into the following supported currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, NZD, SGD, CHF, JPY, CNY, KRW, TWD, THB, INR, MXN, BRL, PLN, CZK, SEK, ZAR, AED, TRY, and ILS.

At checkout, your currency is selected automatically based on your billing country — you can't manually choose a different one. For example, several non-Eurozone European countries (Denmark, Norway, Hungary) are billed in EUR because it's widely accepted there. Countries with no supported local or regional currency are billed in USD at standard rates.

• Your exact local price is shown on the Plans & Billing screen and at checkout.

• Annual pricing is about 20% less than 12 months of monthly billing.

• If you're already subscribed, you keep the price and currency you originally signed up with.

• The Student plan is $0/year in all supported currencies — no credit card required at checkout.

• If you see a student-discounted price on the Pro plan card, that discounted price is exactly what you'll be charged at checkout.

How it works in Flow

Overview

You manage your plan from the Plans & Billing screen in Settings. Basic users see the plan comparison table; Pro, Team, and Enterprise subscribers see a plan-specific card with renewal details and options to manage their subscription.

Key behaviors

• Plan changes: Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

• Switching from Pro to Student: If you're a Pro subscriber with a .edu email address, you can switch down to the free Student plan. Switching from Student back to Pro is not yet supported — you'd need to sign up for a new Pro plan.

• Current plan indicator: The comparison table on Plans & Billing labels your active plan with "Current plan."

• Renewal and cancellation date: The Plans & Billing card shows "Renews {date}" for active Pro subscriptions, or "Cancels {date}" if you've scheduled a cancellation — the last day your Pro access will be active.

• Canceled paid subscriptions: If your Pro or Student subscription has been canceled or expired, your plan card shows a "Canceled" state with a "Plan ends in N days" subtitle and a Resubscribe button.

• Manage via Apple: iOS subscribers see "Manage via Apple" text instead of Manage buttons, since Apple handles their subscription.

• Manage billing vs. Manage subscription: Team and Enterprise admins see a "Manage billing" option, while individual Pro users see "Manage subscription."

• Promo codes: Non-subscribed users can enter a promo code on Plans & Billing. Codes grant free trial days (up to 365), not percentage discounts.

• Save with annual: Pro monthly subscribers see a "Save X with annual" button showing the annual savings amount.

• Payment past due banner: Individual Pro users with an overdue payment see a "Payment past due" banner.

• Trial banner and countdown: While on a trial, a banner above the comparison table shows days remaining with options to add billing info or upgrade. The sidebar also shows a "Trial ends in X days" countdown.

• Trial end summary: On the last day of your trial and during the post-trial grace period, Flow shows a personalized recap of how you used Pro features, with options to continue with unlimited access or return to the Basic limit.

• Upgrade routing for team members: If you're a member of a team, clicking "Upgrade to Pro" opens the team billing screen so your payment covers all seats. Solo users and team admins go to the standard personal checkout instead.

• Upgrade welcome modal: When a team admin upgrades your seat to Pro or Enterprise on desktop, a celebration modal appears with your plan badge and launches a guided tour of Team Insights, Team Dictionary, and Team Snippets.

• Insights tabs and Leaderboard access: The Insights page has three tabs — "Your Usage" (Total Words card with desktop/mobile breakdown), "Your Voice," and "Leaderboard." Your Usage and Your Voice are accessible on all plans. Only the Leaderboard tab has locked or limited states depending on your plan. Enterprise admins also see a "See Team Usage" button that opens the Admin Portal.

• Leaderboard for Pro Team users: Pro Team subscribers see a limited Leaderboard tab — your own stats are visible, while other members' numeric stat columns are blurred (member names and ranks remain visible), with an "Upgrade to view" tooltip on hover. Admins can hide the leaderboard entirely via team settings.

• Enterprise IT Admin seats: IT Admin seats don't include desktop app access and are never counted toward paid seats. Signing in shows a blocking screen with two options: sign out, or open the Admin Portal to change your seat type.

• Seat breakdown: The Plans & Billing card shows mixed-state seats as "70 active · 6 trialing." When there are no trialing members, the card shows just the seat count (e.g., "70 seats"). The Team page in Settings shows a breakdown banner like "70 active · 6 trialing · 2 invited · 1 IT Admin" — only non-zero categories are shown.

• Pending enterprise members: If you were added to an enterprise via your email domain but haven't selected a team yet, you'll be held at the team selection screen until you choose. You won't be treated as a Basic user during this step.

• Leaving or losing access to an enterprise: If your team is disbanded or your team's trial expires and you're removed from the enterprise, Flow updates your account state automatically on desktop so you can purchase an individual Pro plan. The "Rejoin your team" option only appears when rejoining is actually possible.

• Student plan on iOS: Eligible students see Student branding — including a Student badge and Flow Student logo — in the menu, account screen, and history toolbar. The Plans screen shows a Student promo card offering the plan for $0. Because iOS doesn't support in-app plan claiming, tapping any claim button routes you to a screen instructing you to claim your free plan on desktop or web. Tapping "Claim on desktop" sends an invite email and automatically closes the screen once the email is sent. Word-limit indicators are hidden for Student plan users. Students on the free Student plan see "Free" on their current subscription card with no billing subtitle. Students who subscribed through Apple's in-app purchase see their actual App Store price.

• Student pricing on the Pro card: Some students see a discounted price on the Pro plan card. The price shown is exactly what you'll be charged at checkout. Students on the dedicated free Student plan are unaffected and are charged the full Pro price if they choose to subscribe to Pro separately.

Best practices

• Start with Basic to confirm Flow fits your workflow before upgrading.

• If you're an eligible student, claim the free Student plan on desktop or web to get unlimited dictation at no cost — no credit card required.

• Upgrade to Pro if you regularly hit the weekly word limit or need Command Mode.

• Choose Team (multi-seat Pro) if you need to manage licenses for multiple people in your organization.

• Choose Enterprise if you need dedicated support, advanced admin and security controls, usage dashboards, full Team Leaderboard access, or IT Admin seats.

FAQs

Limitations and notes

• The Basic plan has a weekly word limit that resets weekly. Some new Basic users may see a 2,000-word soft cap and 5,000-word hard cap on desktop, and 1,000 words per week on iOS (1,500 hard cap). On iOS, a warning card appears at the top of the statistics carousel as you approach the limit; at the hard cap, Flow slows down until the next reset.

• The free Student plan is available to eligible students and must be claimed on desktop or web. It's $0/year with no credit card required, and is annual-only — there is no monthly Student option. The iOS app guides you to complete the claim process outside the app. Word-limit indicators are hidden for Student plan users on iOS. On iOS, students on the free Student plan see "Free" with no billing subtitle on their current subscription card. Students who subscribed via Apple's in-app purchase see their actual App Store price.

• If you're a Pro subscriber with a .edu email address, you can switch down to the free Student plan. Switching from Student back to Pro is not yet supported.

• Some students see a discounted price on the Pro plan card. The price shown is exactly what is charged at checkout — it will not revert to the full Pro price. Students on the dedicated free Student plan who choose to subscribe to Pro are charged the full Pro price.

• Pricing is localized into the supported currencies listed above; countries without a supported local or regional currency are billed in USD at standard rates. Your currency is set automatically at checkout from your billing country and can't be changed manually. Existing subscribers keep the price and currency they originally signed up with. The Student plan is $0 in all supported currencies.

• Some new users are onboarded without a standard Pro trial and instead receive a 2,000 word/week soft cap. If a one-time bonus is available, the cap rises to 10,000 words for that week only, then returns to 2,000.

• Pending enterprise members — those auto-added via email domain who haven't yet chosen a team — are held at the team selection screen and are not subject to the Basic word cap.

• Pro Team plans include a limited Leaderboard view: your own stats are visible, while other members' numeric stat columns are blurred (names and ranks remain visible). Full Leaderboard access is available on Enterprise plans only. An admin can hide the leaderboard entirely via team settings.

• Only the Leaderboard tab in Insights has locked or limited states depending on plan. "Your Usage" and "Your Voice" are accessible on all plans.

• The upgrade welcome modal, trial celebration screens, team consolidation screen, and trial end summary appear on desktop (Mac and Windows) only. They're not shown on iOS or Android.

• Trial celebration screens are only shown to users eligible for a new trial. Users on team billing (including users re-joining a team or existing enterprise members) see the Flow Pro Teams trial screen or are routed directly to team onboarding instead.

• The Team Consolidation screen during onboarding is only available to eligible accounts.

• The trial end summary is rolling out gradually, so not all eligible users will see it on the last day of their trial or during the grace period. The exact experience varies by user cohort (solo vs. team, high-usage vs. low-usage).

• On Android, tap Upgrade to be routed to the Google Play Store to complete or manage your subscription. iOS purchases are handled through the App Store by Apple.

• The "Canceled" state with a "Plan ends in N days" subtitle and Resubscribe button applies to individual Pro and Student subscriptions that have been canceled or expired. Team and Enterprise plan cards are not affected.

• Team members invited during onboarding are added with the Member role, not Admin.

• The seat breakdown shown above the member list on the Team page in Settings only includes non-zero categories — for example, if no members are invited, "invited" won't appear in the count.

• The Student plan claim flow is available on iOS. Tapping "Claim on desktop" sends an invite email and dismisses the screen automatically once the email is sent. To complete the claim, follow the instructions in the email on a desktop device.
